Hatton and Malignaggi make weight and face off above. Latest Boxing News - Ricky Hatton made weight right on the limit for Saturday’s junior-welterweight fight with American Paulie Malignaggi at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Friday night. Stripped down to his underwear, Hatton, 30, climbed onto the scales and belied suggestions circulating in American boxing circles that he was struggling with his weight, as he looked a lean and trim 140 pounds. Malignaggi, 27, comfortably made weight, tipping the scales at 139 pounds a little over 30 hours before challenging for Hatton’s Ring Magazine and IBO world championship belts. Malignaggi (25-1, 5 KOs) was forced to listen to a deafening chorus of Hatton chants from the estimated 2,500 fans that had begun assembling in the Grand...

Surprisingly enough Spiegel missed this story, but the Daily Telegraph picked it up.This is Anita Schwarz from Eichenau, just west of Munich.Yesterday she attempted to set a new world record for carrying beer mugs - 21 of them.Unfortunately, she didn't make the full 40 metre carry required for the record, and a lot of beer was spilled.A little research determined that a litre of beer weighs about one kilo, while the glass mugs weigh a little over one kilo. Each full glass weighs at least two kilos (which is roughly 2.2 pounds). So, 21 glasses of beer weigh at least 42 kilos - over 90 pounds.She may not have broken the record but I was hugely impressed that she could even lift this much beer let alone carry...

The Marine Conservation Society says severe overfishing is the biggest environmental threat facing Britain and is having a profound effect on marine ecosystems. The warning comes in Silent Seas, a report released as the government prepares its marine bill for parliament. The report said the rate of loss of fish in British seas was accelerating, with formerly abundant species such as the common skate appearing on lists of endangered species. Only eight of the total of 47 fish stocks found around the British Isles remain in a healthy state, the report says, adding that the size and quality of the fish is falling as younger fish are taken out of the sea: “A hundred years ago a large plaice had to be 50-60cm long and weigh 1.5-2kg to be considered big. Today plaice fillets are sold as...

Back in May when I first joined Brynmill Angling Club I checked their match listings and after seeing a singles Carp match on the Fendrod listed for the end of September, I was really up for giving it a go. I have never fished a competition before and compared to a lot of people out there I am still a newcomer to Carp fishing so I thought it would be an ideal opportunity to see if I was any good and a chance to learn from the event.Things looked bleak a fortnight ago when I checked the listings for the match, it had been changed to doubles match. As I really didn't know anyone else who was a member of Brynmill Angling Club it looked like I wouldn't be unable to fish the competition due to lack of a partner. Then last week I received an email from a guy I had spoken to on the bank at the...

It is difficult to candle quail eggs because of the dark markings on the shell. Hi Sara, This is my first time trying to hatch eggs. It seems to be going good but I can not candle the speckled eggs. It is almost hatch time and it seems the eggs weigh more. Can you tell by weight if the eggs have grown embryos in them? It is only 3 days from hatch day. Thanks Denver Hi Denver, I don’t usually candle my eggs and didn’t candle the quail which are hard to do anyway. I have done a bit of research after receiving your comment and have found that Katie Thear who has written Keeping Quail doesn’t bother candling quail eggs as they are difficult to candle and have a short incubation period so that it is hardly worthwhile candling the eggs.

This morning I have been attempting to weigh my pigs. I have managed to get 5 of the boars through the weigh. Flash weighs about 130lbs. Buttons weighs about 115lbs. Pinky weighs about 130lbs. Tipsy weighs about 123lbs. Streaky weighs about 125lbs. Archie went onto the scales and I did manage to close the door behind him but he hunched himself up and then tried to turn around with the door still shut so I had to let him out before I could weigh him properly. Blacky Left Foot also had a sniff of the weigh but I couldn’t get him to put his feet on. I decided to let them go on in their own time so as not to frighten them and put them off going on the scales. I will try again with Archie and Blacky Left Foot tonight when I feed and muck them out. Wish me luck! Pig Management PigsPig...

People who have problems with their weight usually ask "How much should I weigh?" They want to know whether they are fat or thin. Experts say that you should stick to whatever weight is comfortable for you. So perhaps a better question your should ask is "What is a healthy weight for me?"One quick way to find out is through weight charts. Your local community health center should be able to provide you with this chart. The basic chart goes by age, height and bone structure (frame size)."How much should I weight?" is a great question for your doctor because he is in a much better position to advise you than by just checking a chart. There are several things to consider, including whether you are healthy at your current weight and if it can cause you problems in the future.Another method is...

A new range of suitcases recently introduced must surely be the last word in luxury for lazy folk.The cases are actually powered by electric motors driving the wheels, all controlled via the handle. I hope I don't come across folk with any that they want hoisting in the boot, they weigh nearly 11kg empty, so imagine the weight when full. Still at £700 each I don't expect I will see too many about. You think thats expensive eh? Don't worry they tell me that they come with a built in umbrella thrown in....

Boiled eggs. Still reading? It is sometimes the simple, apparently yawningly boring, plain and ugly things in life that give the most pleasure. I regularly eat boiled eggs at the flat because they are: 1. Cheap; 2. Easy to prepare; 3. Easy to consume; and 4. Tasty Giving fair exception to the last horseman of my ovate apocalyptic quartet, many people allege that Chenin Blanc welcomes only the first three riders onto its lazy back. Accused of blandness, and being a Jack of all trades but master of none, how does Chenin Blanc stand in the dock against horseman number 4’s indictment?  It is a grape I largely ignore, but I am not entirely sure why.

It seems as today is the day for new trail shoes.  I picked up a pair of New Balance All terrain running shoes, a bit similar to the Innov8 only not as light. This pair weigh about 800g which is a big saving over my boots. Only time will tell, how good they are for backpacking but for the price I paid it's worth a go....

I must stand corrected. Nige isn’t going to Weight-watchers at all, he goes to Fat Fighters. This throws up a whole new load of imagery. You can imagine some kind of Fight Club thing going on, but only fort fat people. They could probably start off with the weigh in, then the two who have lost the most fight it out for the honour of the certificate and the fruit basket. Then the next two would fight each other. I could probably do a whole spoof on it:“First rule of Fat Fighters is don’t tell anyone about how much chips you’ve ate all...

Nige lost 3lbs again this week, but was beaten by his missus to the prize. She lost 3 1/2 lbs this week. After Nige had finished telling us about his waistline Alan started talking to Becks about her diet. She was explaining that she wasn’t counting points or anything like that; she was just trying to eat healthier stuff. Opposite her now sits Dan, who comes in late on in the mornings with his McDonalds breakfast, and then will have KFC or Subway for dinner. He also has a bag full of snacks for during the day. As he was leaving, Alan said “Keep up the good work.” (to Becks)Dan replied “I...

A British owned island in the South Atlantic has been overrun by hundreds of thousands of monster mice which have evolved into carnivores. The mice of Gough Island have grown to two or even three times the size of an ordinary house mouse.They have developed from eating insects and seeds and are now devouring young birds, including albatross chicks, in huge numbers.Birds on the island had been used to having no predators and are unable to fend off the mice which attack in groups at night.Albatross chicks weigh up to 10kg and the mice weigh only 35g but together they are able to kill and eat the birds.RSPB scientist Dr Geoff Hilton said: "It's like a tabby cat attacking a hippopotamus."...

Its our Monday morning weigh-in. See our stats page. I shuffle off to work grumbling to myself. My temple of a body is determined to irritate me through its stubbornness to lose the pounds. Although I didn't treat it much like a temple on Friday and Saturday nights when I had some white wine. It is written loud and large on placards in front of my face: YOU CAN'T LOSE WEIGHT AND DRINK ALCOHOL DUMMY. But I keep choosing to ignore them. Ho hum. When will I learn?Hazel on the other hand is ecstatic. For the first time in weeks she is feeling positive and optimistic. Despite the windypops she gets from the baked...
